Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
We can appreciate that you would be concerned about this situation.
You can find some information on the Landlord's Self-Help Centre website in the Ending a Tenancy section.
Here is an excerpt,
My tenant is breaking the lease. Does she have to find me a new tenant?
If a tenant terminates a tenancy before the end of the rental term, the tenant is not required to find a new tenant for the rental unit. The landlord is obligated to mitigate their losses from the early termination and re-rent the unit as soon as possible. A landlord can then make a claim against the former tenant in Small Claims Court for the the cost of advertising and loss of rent the landlord incurred.
You can find additional information in this Legal ways to move out early document from Community Legal Education Ontario.
You may want to contact the Landlord's Self-Help Centre directly for some advice.
The Landlord's Self-Help Centre is a non-profit community legal clinic which supports Ontario's small-scale landlord community exclusively.
They provide information, summary advice and referrals. It develops educational materials and delivers educational outreach programs which aim to help small landlords better understand their rights and responsibilities and navigate the regulatory environment to which they are subject.
We hope that others can provide some additional information and suggestions to you.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
